The Fetal Alcohol Syndrome Family Resource Institute is a grassroots, non-profit, family run, educational organization devoted to the identification, understanding and care of individuals disabled by prenatal alcohol exposure and their families and to prevent future generations from having to live with this preventable birth defect. Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders are an invisible avalanche crashing down on society and overwhelming public resources. But when we realize that an avalanche is a bunch of snowflakes that have been ignored, the task of keeping affected people and their communities safe, seems more manageable. Each person disabled by prenatal alcohol exposure is like an innocent snowflake. There is nothing more fragile than innocence, but nothing more tragic than innocence betrayed by ignorance and fear. Therefore in the defense of innocence it is the mission of FAS*FRI through education and advocacy to aid in the preservation of the innocence of those with FASD who cry for understanding and help and that their cries not be ignored.

FAS*FRI is a collaboration of parents and professionals working together to gather the experienced based knowledge of the collective family experience, to to help preserve families raising affected individuals
